Zinc effectively treats pediatric wartsUse of Topical Nitric-Zinc Complex Solution to Treat Palmoplantar and Periungual Warts in a Pediatric Population.
We evaluated the effectiveness of a nitric-zinc complex solution (NZCS) for treating palmoplantar and periungual warts in children. Over a series of sessions, we found that 83.9% of warts completely resolved, with 87.5% success in periungual cases. The treatment was painless and easy, requiring only biweekly applications.
Additionally, the results were esthetically pleasing, with no significant side effects reported. This study highlights NZCS as a promising option for wart management in pediatric patients, making it easier for both children and their guardians.

Zinc solution shows warts effectivenessEfficacy Assessment of a Topically Applied Nitric-Zinc Complex Solution for the Treatment of External Ano-genital Warts in 100 Patients.
We explored the use of a novel nitric-zinc complex (NZC) solution for treating external ano-genital warts, a common issue caused by the human papillomavirus. In this study, 100 patients underwent up to four treatments, showing a remarkable 92% cure rate after the sessions. The findings also indicated that patients with fewer warts achieved better results. While relapses occurred in some cases, most tolerated the treatment well. This study suggests that earlier diagnosis and treatment lead to a more favorable outcome against these warts.

Zinc treatment comparable to cryotherapyA Multicentre, Randomised Clinical Trial to Compare a Topical Nitrizinc Complex Solution Versus Cryotherapy for the Treatment of Anogenital Warts.
We analyzed how effective a zinc-based solution (Nitrizinc® Complex) is compared to cryotherapy in treating anogenital warts. In our study, 120 participants received either treatment and were monitored for up to four sessions.
Our findings indicated that the zinc solution was as effective as cryotherapy for smaller warts and was generally more tolerable. Participants experienced a lower recurrence rate, making Nitrizinc a promising alternative to traditional cryotherapy for managing these warts.

Zinc solution shows promise against wartsThe SILVER study. Efficacy of topical nitric-zinc complex solution in the treatment of resistant warts: A postmarketing evaluation.
We explored the effectiveness of a nitric-zinc complex solution (NZCS) in treating hard-to-handle warts caused by HPV. In a multicenter study involving 14 Italian dermatologists, 83 out of 106 responses reported using NZCS. Impressively, 84.1% of patients saw significant improvement with this treatment, much higher than the 44.8% success rate observed with past therapies. Not only did NZCS demonstrate superior efficacy, but it also provided better tolerability compared to previously used treatment methods.

Zinc sulfate shows moderate efficacyEmerging Intralesional Treatments for Plantar Warts: A Systematic Review.
We explored various intralesional treatments for plantar warts by analyzing 26 studies published between January 2012 and January 2021. Among the treatments assessed, zinc sulfate showed a decent median cure rate of 70%.
However, while it was better than some options, it didn't outperform intralesional vitamin D3, which had an impressive 80% cure rate. Overall, treatments like bleomycin and Candida antigen also showed effectiveness, but vitamin D3 stands as a promising first-line choice.
This study suggests ongoing consideration of different approaches for those struggling with stubborn plantar warts.
